Carbon-fibre Outrigger Paddle - Charity Auction

This paddle is being auctioned for charity. The proceeds will go to the Heart 2 Heart Foundation - a foundation helping children (and their parents) with congenital heart disorders.

I am auctioning this paddle in recognition of my darling husband Mark Thomas, who passed away in December ('05) of a congenital heart disorder that went undetected through his lifetime. Being a congenital disorder, our son (Josh) has to be monitored on a 3-year basis, so as you can see, this charity is very close to home for us.

If you would like to make a donation to the Heart 2 Heart foundation directly then can I direct you to my fundraising website http://www.fundraiseonline.co.nz/cycle4markandjosh/

Thankyou to all those who will bid on this paddle and those who are generous in making a donation.
